701003 - Create a new Apps promo for MDN homepage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketing :: Design, task)

Description

[Jane Finette]

Please can you help create a new promo button for the launch of the app developer area on MDN. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

The image to be replaced is the WebFWD banner (yepp P and I are going to duke it out! ;) ) 

Looking for the same design with simple Mozilla branding and copy to be:

Be part of the Mozilla Labs Apps project. "Learn More" as the CTA (as currently shown on the Web FWD banner). 

Ideally -- I'd like to have this by Monday Nov 14, that's likely unrealistic, but had to ask. We have the Apps Documentation launch scheduled for Nov 15. 

Thanks, Jane

Do we have any visual direction or branding we should refer to? I know so much is still in flux with that and want to make sure we're handling appropriately.

Nothing yet. Adding in Kristin. 

It would make sense to have it follow along the branding of Labs for now.

Tara, just wanted to flag this one for you since I'll be on PTO next week.

Eek.  Sorry Jane.  

Lee, is this something you can help us whip up tomorrow?  Jane, is it too late for us to help with this?  Sorry mozcamp, travels and jetlag consumed our resources.  Please let me know.

We actually need the full banner and a smaller square version like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/media/img/webfwd-promo-square.png

Lee:  Let us know if you have an ETA for these, so I can make sure our MDN dev team gets it checked in for our next push.  Thanks.

I'm working on this now - 
Jay, would you be able to tell me the exact dimensions for these 3 assets? Possibly link me to a page they'll be on for visual reference? And, if someone can send/link me to some official Mozilla Labs Apps graphics, that would be a tremendous help.

Home page banner: 456px wide, give or take a few pixels. Height can be somewhat variable, but around 160px works well. You can see it in place at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ (current one is 456x161)

Sidebar: 235px wide exactly. Height is again variable, but could be 235 square or even more if you want to go for a tall rectangle. Seen in situ at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/web (current one is 235x205)

Looks good to me.  "Mozilla Labs Apps" sounds a bit weird to me, so hopefully we figure out what we're calling this thing for real very soon. :-)

As soon as we get a green light on the copy and a link from Jane or the Apps team, we can get this in.

Great.  Thanks Lee for jumping on this. 

Jay, in Jane's absence, are you able to confirm this bug squished, dead, done, so I can close?  The link/coding would be handled elsewhere anyway if we're good with the graphics. 

(closing, but feel free to ping and re-open if needed).
